Me an international Art Police officer grabbing a thief surrounded by his spoils. "I have you at last! Jail for you! For ten thousand years!"

Me. "Me, oh, sorry, be about your business. I'll close the door on my way out."

Nobody asked for this! We just wanted to be able to add images to Word docs without the formatting going haywire, have y’all fixed that yet?

Look, The Haunting of Hill House and House on Haunted Hill are both beautiful and delightful in their own ways.

Also, at least scam the correct author. I’ve gotten these clearly intended for other recipients about books I did not write. Like I’m sorry that Rando P Author III is criminally underrated but I ain’t them, soooo.

We are delighted to reveal the cover for First Mage on The Moon by @cameronjohnston.bsky.social!

Ella is on a mission to reach the moon–even if that incurs a little blasphemy (and Unity interference). Look for it April 14, 2026 from @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social!

Shoot, this is just smart planning! (Honestly I’ve come to believe that when you find a style or brand you love, stock up, because that’s like gold. No other pressures or rationales needed.)

The reason many of the commentators don’t like Bluesky is because the infrastructure is set up in a way that no longer benefits them.

On Twitter it was always easier to gain an audience by purposefully saying things that upset people. Getting ratio-ed was a tactic.

Here, that’s much harder.

The uptick in β€œour book club wants to read your book!” followed by expensive fees to share with their members is absolutely wild.

Be careful? These scams wouldn’t be so prolific if they didn’t work every now and again.

There’s a shop in my hometown that only sells flags and I was sure it was a front because how can the market for flags be big enough to support a whole shop but there’s this guy so maybe I was wrong.

When you get out the big ladder for some home maintenance but notice there’s already a vulture circling. Great sign. Really great.

Anyone who says a book is badly edited because there's like two typos really needs to give it a try from this side and see how they do.

I have been in transit for over 24 hours and have become a gremlin on one of the country’s last blessed interurban trains, hoovering Burger King French fries in the same clothes I wore yesterday. Say hi if you see me.

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...
